Possessed by the /insatiable need to breed, they will journey to brutal African battle fields, and grow on South Atlantic shores.

 

 

For the sake of their young, they will blacken the skies, and terrorize rainforest floors.

 

 

Right now, the world's wild parents are on the march, on the wing, on the run.

 

 

And these are the tales of their sacrifice, the most moving stories on earth, the stories of the great migrations.

 

 

 

Winter, in the south Atlantic, one of the worst places in the world to be left behind, but that is Johnny /rook's lot in life. 

 

 

 

Here on the deathly archipelago off South America, this bird of pray clings to life, waiting for the migrants to return. 

 

 

 

Now, the flare of September dawn announces / spring's feeble arrival.
